The iso file containing Windows XP SP3 professional at MSDNAA seems to
be corrupt since there is no i386 folder and I have not recieved any

license from The Uppsala University but any request to redownload
goes nowhere.

Is there anyone who hasn't gone fishing and can tell me where I can
get a working copy?

Your *university* has an MSDN subscription (no "AA" edition is listed at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/subs...onschart.aspx).
And your association with your university is what?

So did you login using your university's account at MSDN and then
download the file? A limited number of support incidents are included
with each MSDN subscription. Your university may have to pay for
another one to open an incident for you. So what did they say when you
wanted to open a trouble ticket with Microsoft using their subscription?

Where did you try to get the download? Was it from their download page
at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/subs.../default.aspx?
Can't help you by checking their download since I don't have an
available MSDN subscription (no longer at my prior software development
employer that had all that stuff).

No one here can help you with Microsoft's downloads. We are all just
users here in a peer community called Usenet. You'll have to start
exploring what support resources are available from your university or
from Microsoft at:

Have you asked over in their MSDN newsgroups? According to Microsoft at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/subs.../aa718661.aspx, they have
forums. There are some microsoft.public.msdn.* newsgroups on
non-Microsoft NNTP servers. They're probably referring to a private
groups at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/subs.../aa974230.aspx.

NNTP to which you connect (to get at something like microsoft.private.*
groups) so you will need to know the login credentials to use that NNTP
server.


Since the MSDN subscriptions include the "MSDN Library" which is a
wallet containing all the CDs, why not use those?
